Just out of curiosity, does Keenspace give you any way to determine how much bandwidth your comic uses? If so, does anyone want to share some numbers?

I'm quite curious as to how much bandwidth some of your comics use up so that I can better plan for the future.

Yes they do. So far this month I've had 6494 pageviews and 435042 KB bandwidth used.

check out http://members.keenspace.com/yourcomicname and click on the link that says 'logs', and it'll bring up a highly detailed page of all your visits and junk.

I'm probably holding down a smaller niche than Zombie High, but as of 26th, we've reached 2823 pageviews and 212409 Kbytes...just about to pass our previous months totals.

Dunno how much that means, but I think that's answered part of your request.

7525 pageviews, and 681,761 here. But that's with the news article William G did on the strip, so it's probably a high month for me.

I'm not too sure how can you use the figures of other people, because we have very different numbers of readers, different average file size of a strip, etc. What type of information are you looking for?

I've said it before. If you compare your webalizer hits with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser webcomics than your own.

Desiderata...

Our number of visits is steadily going down each month. Uh oh.

My stats just seem to reach a plateau and sit there.
This applies to both HNTRAC and PB.
CC is starting to level off too (and not at as high a level as I'd like).

The figures are just a rough guideline for me. I can use them to see that (on a small number of examples) many web comics that haven't broken out yet are at less than a gig a month, whereas some more popular ones seem to be a bit over 10 gigs.

What I'm looking for is just some numbers. My server has 20 gigs of bandwidth a month, and I want to be able to plan for the future. It looks like, unless things go much faster than I anticipate, my 20 gigs will be more than plenty for a while, but to be on the safe side I might want to at least price out some bigger bandwidth plans with my provider.

That won't work for me, as I'm running my comic off of my own server, not Keenspace's. And yeah, I can check my own bandwidth and statistics, but I am looking for statistics on already established comics.

If you were a member of keenspace, you could go to http://members.keenspace.com (omitting any username after that), and you can see the top 250 comics in any given category.
This used to be cooler when it showed ALL the comics on Keenspace but Kisai toned it down after she found out it had a 1MB pageload.

McDuffies · Post by **McDuffies** » Tue Oct 26, 2004 8:56 am

Well, mcDuffies has average 12000 pageviews with 1000000 KB bandwith.

Oh, wow, this is sad ... for only 3300 visits, more than a megabyte of bandwidth. Ouch.
